Amiami and other online shops posted listings earlier today for a Shana (regular edition noire ver.) PVC from Shakugan no Shana II, and a Noumi Kudryavka PVC from Little Busters!, both from Cospa adjunct figure brand Resinya!. Shana is due out in July at 1/6 scale (28 cm tall) and comes with with stool, tray, and headphones; her sculpt is from Hiroshi of Sakurazensen and she retails at 7,800 yen. Kudryavka is likewise due out in July at 1/6 scale (22.5 cm tall) and 7,800 yen retail, with a sculpt from Onsen Tengoku (blog); her cape and hat are removable. Both figures are receiving shop-limited releases: an alternate Shana (alice blue ver.) is coming from Amiami, and a Kudryavka (wahoo pose ver.) is coming from GEE! Store. Update: There is a GEE! Store limited Shana (strawberry ver.) in production as well. Images below:
The only strawberry Shana image currently online is the one here, as her product page (linked above) is empty at time of posting. It should receive a full gallery soon.
Nice Shana! Shame about the limited edition (I hate limiteds), but Nippon Export may help me with that. ^_~
I would pony up for the Alice Blue ver. of Shana if one of my US sources was actually going to get that version… but I’m sure they won’t. I hate it when the Shop Exclusive LTD EDs are actually better looking that the originals, most of the time it’s ‘just another look’ but every now and then they kill me (like this one), and remind me that it still sucks to be a lowly US otaku aka baka gaijin that is into the chara/figure hobby, even if it’s better than it used to be.
Is there a reason why Resinya releases have such a high pice tag? Is it the scale? Any impressions of previous releases in terms of quality?

Nice~ I just like the feeling of Shana in this pose and costume. :D For 1/6, the price still looks reasonable to me. Tempted to get it…. If the actual is just as good as the pic, this will be my fav Shana XD

I picked up their Sasara, and though I haven’t broken her out of the box yet I’m not incredibly impressed with the quality (from what can be seen through the window). Hopefully they’ll do better by these newer releases.
7,800 yen does seem a bit expensive, but for a 1/6 scale 28 cm tall figure like that Shana it seems about right to me, given current retail prices from other makers.
i can’t decide whether to get the GEE! ver. or the regular.
i like the hair of the orange. but the black one has a darker look.
